The Orrery
Boss of The Cogholds · Act III
Guarding the final gate of the Cogholds is the Orrery—a colossal autonomous fortress of spinning brass rings that hums like a thousand clockwork gears. It needs no living crew to fight.
How to beat The Orrery · ●●○
Its Governor (Bulkheads icon) turns its rooms every 26 s, so your aim is lost, and it loads its guns: damage it to slow both, wreck it to stop the turning, or put a gnome in it to stop it for good. Its 2 ward layers stop most spells: bring bolts.Victory: Clock Stopped#
The Orrery's brass rings grind to a halt, stopping every synchronized clock across the Cogholds. One by one, gnomes step out onto their spire balconies to stare at your ship.
A Compact delegation soon arrives bearing an artificer's workbench, a crate of clockwork devices, and a formal diplomatic protest—all at the same time.
